SeaRobotics has recently delivered an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) for rapid post-hurricane hydrographic survey in the Caribbean.
SeaRobotics’ 3.6 meter, collapsible ASV should allow rapid deployment and completion of the hydrographic surveys necessary to re-open infrastructure enabling delivery of life saving goods and services, after a severe climatic event, such as a hurricane.
“SeaRobotics is pleased to participate in improved disaster recovery efforts implemented by the USACE. As a Florida company, we are directly impacted by the need for rapid hurricane response and thrilled to be involved in the solution,” stated Don Darling , president of SeaRobotics.
The ASV was delivered with a fully integrated Edgetech 6205 multi-beam echo sounder (MBES), R2Sonic 2022 with Type II I2NS motion reference unit and dual antenna GPS system, as well as a surface sound velocity probe and a cast winch deploying a CTD—all tightly integrated with HYPACK software.
